What can save Kafka relationship with Tibetan Buddhism? I think as reviewing the curricula vitae of this band with unusual name. The tormented vision of Prague writer, full demons and loneliness, it may fit with the premises of doom. As in Kafka's work, Odradek Room project images and shadows of our unconscious. There is beauty in the decadent and the perception of reality in a world s...

In the modern age, the music industry is truly an unfathomable anomaly in every sense of the word.
